Option	Description
Order	Select the order that the fields should display in for your report. The first row in the grid represents the first column on the report, the second row represents the second column, and so on.
Field	Select the field associated with the business object to include in your report.
Column Heading Override	Specify a name to use instead of the populated name on this report to ensure that any future renaming by Workday doesn't impact your labels. Workday supports translations for this field on your report.
Format	Select a format to apply to currency and numeric fields. When displaying numbers in Thousands or Millions format, Workday rounds each number independently.
Options	Available options depend on your field type. You can also select the Create prompt to create these custom display options: Create Analytic Indicator , which enables you to use the indicator in other reports throughout your tenant. Create Analytic Indicator for Report , which enables you to use the indicator only in the current report. Create Percentile for Report , which enables you to create custom percentiles up to 2 decimal places to use in your report. Workday uses an approximate value for currency and numeric fields in the percentile (PCTL).
